Philadelphia, January 3.-The revival meetings were again largely attended to-day, the services this evening being in the form of a praise meeting conducted by Mr. Sankey. A Sunday paper of this city having yesterday commented in very severe terms on Moody's allusions to the Jews at the meeting on Wednesday last, that gentleman to-night in explanation of remarks attributed to him says that in July, 1873, he had seen in a London paper an account of the meeting of some Jewish society in Paris in June, 1873. At this meeting the report stated that the chairman said that the Jews had the honor of killing the Christian God, whereupon the audience applauded. Mr. Moody disclaimed any desire to insult the Jews or hurt the feelings of any one. He had related what he had read in a London paper when he was in England.
